Welcome to the Mannum Dock Museum of River History, PS Marion and the Mannum Visitor Information Centre

Mannum Dock Museum acknowledges the Nganguraku people as traditional owners of this land. We aim to respect the cultural heritage, customs, beliefs and relationship to the land of all indigenous people. Mannum Dock Museum, home of the fully restored Paddle Steamer Marion, presents river history at its best. The Paddle Steamer Marion is a fully restored heritage vessel built in 1897 and is one of the last operational, heritage, steam driven, wood fired, overnight passenger carrying side paddle steamers in the world.

The Mannum Dock Museum will be hosting the next All Steamed Up event on Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd of November 2020 (held on a biannual basis).

SAVE OUR RANDELL DRY DOCK

The heritage listed Randell Dry Dock built in 1876 is believed to be the only floating dry dock of its kind left in the world.

It now needs your help. We have started a fund raising campaign to build a shelter to protect this red gum engineering feat to ensure it will last the tests of time and be protected from the elements.

If you would like to donate towards its preservation; email museum@psmarion.com or make a donation direct to Mannum Dock Museum Board BSB 105 085 Account 025138740 Ref: Save our Dry Dock (your name).

All donations are tax deductible and for further information contact the Mannum Dock Museum (08) 8569 2733. If you would like to know more about the history of the Dry Dock: History of Randell Dry Dock
